Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Chicken

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

2

Cook the Chicken

Add the chicken breasts to the pot, along with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the chicken in the spices.

3

Add Tomato Sauce

Pour in the tomato sauce and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

4

Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and use two forks to shred the meat. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir to combine with the sauce.

5

Serve

Serve the shredded chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
